A collection of photos documenting the terrible floods that Bentley has endured. Most of the following were taken during the floods of 1932, although I have added some google images of the 2007 floods at the bottom of the page.

The following photos were taken by Winifred Ireland in 1932. They are centered mostly around the Yarborough Terrace to Marsh Gate area. By kind courtesy of Pamela Ireland.
Bentley was my birthplace and it was very interesting to read the history and see the images. Brought back memories. Thanks to your hard work.
